Author Veronica Roth shares her story

Can Transform You

The “Divergent” book series, written by Veronica Roth (left) , will be made available in local public libraries.

f the buzz around the newest young adult “Divergent” series proves true, fans of the “Hunger Games” will have a new hero to follow, taking the role of girl heroine to a different level set in a world unlike any other. Chicago author Veronica Roth has spent the last few years in a whirlwind, wrapped around the success of the New York Times Best-Selling “Divergent” trilogy. The first book published in 2011 is set to hit the movie screen in March 2014, and what is being called one of the most highly anticipated books of its genre, the third book,“Allegiant,” will be released Oct. 22. Teens and adults alike are captivated by the series, with fanfare spreading just as fast, or possibly faster than the “Hunger Games,” much to Roth’s own awe. “Divergent” also has landed on the Illinois’ Reads list, which promotes reading books by Illinois authors.

2 dead in plane crash identified as Kentucky couple By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

The National Transportation Safety Board who is now in charge of the investigation were on the scene Thursday and Friday gathering evidence from the Sept 25 plane crash that took the lives of a Kentucky couple. No black box was found, but enough material was found to complete an investigation said NTSB Spokesman Keith Holloway. “Unfortunately, our investigators deal with this kind of situation often. The fortunate aspect is that they are experienced and knowledgeable in aircraft accident investigation and what may seem like a minimal amount of information

to the general public can provide much information to them,” said Holloway. Holloway reported that investigators have not confirmed whether or not the plane was coming in too fast or not. “This is part of the many things we will be looking at during this investigation,” said Holloway. “It is possible we may have a preliminary report in the coming weeks. However, it can typically take about 12 to 18 months before a probable cause is determined.” The two killed in Sept. 25 plane crash at Lily Cache and Weber Road were a husband and wife team from Georgetown, Kentucky who were headed to a See CRASH, page 3

Romeoville trustee receives supervision for traffic charge By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Romeoville Trustee Kenneth Griffin will serve 12 months of court supervision and avoid a conviction if he complies after spending four days in the Will County Jail for a charge of driving on a revoked license. Griffin, 65, 600 Bridgeman, Romeoville, first appeared in court Sept. 23 on the charge resulting from an arrest in June by the Illinois State Police. Kathy Hoffmeyer of the Will County Sheriff’s Office said he chose not to pay a bond and he was transported to Will

His wife, the only passenger died at Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital at 6:45 p.m. Sept. 25. Dr. Vengu, as he was known, worked at the Georgetown Community Hospital, for the past 27 years and his wife worked with him at the office of his practice. “He was an extraordinary

County Jail later Monday. Chuck Pelkie of the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office confirmed Griffin’s license was originally revoked due to a DUI charge he received in 2012 in Arizona. The charged was his second, having received a DUI in 1984. Griffin appeared in court Sept. 26 for a sentence hearing at which time the attorney’s office was pursuing a conviction. However, Pelkie said the judge ruled a conviction would not go on his record if he complied with court supervision, a $250 fine, and 240 hours of

public community service hours of which he has already completed 96 hours. Griffin initially was appointed to the village board in February 2011, according to the village website. He was then elected to serve a fouryear term in April 2011. Prior to retiring from AT & T, Griffin served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War.

Lt. Mike Rompa said it is believed that the plane, identified as a Cirrus SR20, was attempting to land at Clow Airport. The Federal

Aviation Administration reports the plane is heavily damaged and spent the evening examining the smoldering parts of the plane strewn about the Chase parking lot, where three vehicles were also completely torched. Crowds of onlookers stood by throughout the evening. Resident Marian Flattum who lives blocks away was saddened by the accident; never giving much thought to the planes the fly overhead daily. “They’re small planes, you never really think that such a crash would happen or cause so much damage,” said Flattum. The airport is a public general aviation airport that also provides flight instruction.

Romeoville man dies in motorcycle crash By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

A 25-year-old Romeoville man was killed early Wednesday morning after he crashed his motorcycle into a median on Boughton Road in Bolingbrook. Bolingbrook Police Lt. Rompa reported that at 2:37 a.m. Richard H. Ford was traveling east on Boughton Road and lost control on Aspen Lane, striking the

He was taken to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 3:09 a.m. Sept. 25.

Stepping out for a cure Survivors, supporters raise funds for cancer research By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Whether they were walking as survivors or walking in memory of loved ones lost, their goal was the same—the wish to raise hope for a cure that will add more birthdays for those touched by cancer. In its third year, 163

participants, 21 teams, walked in the two-day Relay for Life event Sept. 28 and 29 at the Romeoville Municipal Center, raising more than $45,000 to be dedicated to cancer research. For the family of Jim Barry, the play on the word F.O.R., from the team name, the Family of Relayors, to number four balloons, it was the reminder of

the loss they experienced just four months ago, the lost of a husband, father, and papa. “We had already planned to walk in the relay, but we had hoped to be walking with him as a survivor,” said daughter Lori Barry. “It is a way to honor my dad, to remember him and See CURE, page 8

CHOICE Continued from page 1 Bugle, Enterprise and Sentinel newspapers -- is encouraging its readers to investigate the full power of a good book. First published in May 2011, Roth’s debut novel was an instant bestseller and one of the most heralded debut novels of 2011. It landed on multiple yearend “Best Of” lists, including PublishersWeekly,School Library

THE BUGLE OCTOBER 3, 2013 Journal and National Public Radio’s All Things Considered, and was selected by Goodreads users as the Goodreads Choice Award Winner for Favorite Book of 2011. “Insurgent” followed, and its fan based increased with 4 million copies sold to date. “Allegiant,” the final book in the trilogy, will have an initial print run of 2 million copies. The “Divergent” series is based in a futuristic barren Chicago where society is divided into five factions, each dedicated to the

cultivation of a particular virtue— Candor (the honest), Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Amity (the peaceful) and Erudite (the intelligent). On an appointed day each year, all 16-year-olds must select the faction to which they will devote the rest of their lives. Beginning Oct. 22, Roth will begin a North American tour to promote the release of “Allegiant,” with a sold out public appearance at the Tivoli Theater in Downers Grove, Oct. 26.

Upcoming ‘Divergent’ Community Events The “Divergent” series’ popularity by Veronica Roth is spurring midnight book parties, contests, and local libraries are readying themselves for an onslaught of reader interest. The Downer’s Grove Public Library will be hosting“Divergent” Trivia for Teens as part of its Illinois Reads program from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 22, including a raffle for a ticket to hear Roth speak at the sold-out public appearance of Roth at the Tivoli Theater. In addition from 2 to 3:30 p.m. Nov. 10, at the library, Diane Dillon, architectural historian from the Newberry Library, will discuss representations of Chicago’s architecture in literature, especially the “Illinois Reads” selection Divergent. Roth fans can stop inAnderson’s Bookshops in both Downers

Grove at 5112 Main St., and 123 West Jefferson in Naperville, to pre-order Allegiant and receive a number to attend a Book Release party beginning at 10:30 p.m., Mon. Oct. 21 with activities surrounding the book leading up to the midnight release.You must be pre-registered to attend party and receive book at release. “Allegiant is the final book in the hugely popular series,” said Mary Miller, librarian at Niles Public Library.“I can’t even keep copies of the previous two books in the series on the shelf.” Miller said that in the wake of the Hunger Games book series’ popularity there were many copycat books that came out, but that Roth’s Divergent series was able to distinct itself with its unique concept of using Chicago as a backdrop for a dystopian

society based around five different personality traits. The Niles, Park Ridge and Des Plaines public libraries all have the book on order and fans of the series can sign a checkout waitlist before the Oct. 22 release date. Jodie Nelson, Youth Services Assistant at the Plainfield Public Library is expecting a rush for the latest novel after continually placing the first two Roth novels on hold for its patrons. “It’s extremely popular,” said Nelson. “We can’t keep it on the shelves.” Similar story at the White Oak Library district serving Romeoville, Crest Hill and Lockport, where they will be promoting the series with a book display and “read alike” titles and an event planned for next spring during the movie release.

The Bugle had the opportunity to interview Roth, 24, who wrote the book as a college senior at Northwestern University, and discuss the success painted by a dystopian world: Q.You’ve been interviewed by countless national magazines. Rolling Stone called the series, “The next big thing.” Elle suggests you have surpassed Suzanne Collins. How did you get here? Were you at all prepared for its huge success? A. Not at all. That would have been pretty self-confident and arrogant. I was really surprised by how it all happened. I was focused and centered on the series, and I worked hard. I think that everything just fell into place. It was the early part of my senior year, and I was clueless about the process. I tried to get an agent and sent out a different manuscript. I’m glad, now, that no one ever wanted that manuscript, and I was inspired to write

“Divergent.” When I first sent it, it didn’t work out. Q. How do you feel about your books being taught in schools? A. It’s completely incredible. I just hope it’s something they want to read. I remember required reading as not always something the students actually want to read! Q. Why do you think your books resonate with so many? A. I am trying to figure that out. It’s difficult for me to step back because I am so deep into my work. I wanted to create a character for a young woman who overcame her fears and embarked on self-actualization. I put a lot emotion in it, and I think that comes through and is what people are feeling when they read it. Q. How do you keep young readers interested? A. It’s important.

ForuM Time for Romeoville to stand up and be counted I have been designated as a messenger to bring and share some future plans for the East Side of Romeoville. This is an honor and a privilege. Our committee started about 13 years ago. We were constant and dedicated to bring the very best to the former Spartan Square. We are now in the making of history for the future generation. Our Village Mayor, Assistant, and trustees have worked hard and diligently to secure the very best applicants for the former Romeoville Downtown. I have been to many meetings. Our village trustees understand our wants and needs. We will soon have a 9,000 square foot building, with about 3,000 square foot for a deli or a grocery store. I have been assured that the proprietor (longtime Romeoville) business will build a grocery store for us. This grocery store will have everything a large store has, only on a smaller scale. The proprietor has had a business in Romeoville for some years now. He does have the experience, plus does care for our village and the people on

the East Side. The new name of Uptown Square does have the integrity. It illustrates the very proud blue-collar worker, and the white-collar worker. Many of the residents on the East Side of Romeoville have been here with me for more than 50 years. We have seen many good improvements as of late. We plan to have a showing of strength and humility that the next generation will inherit. The potential is endless. We have all waited patiently for the re-birth of the East Side. We see justice for our patience in the future. The committee all resolve to help where and when needed. We all care deeply for our village. We stand united as partners - the East and West Side. Working together we can become the very best village in the state of Illinois. This is a promise that will be made. To all of the residents of Romeoville - East and West, we need each other. For all of the residents that have lived in Romeoville for many years, it is our time now to persevere and stand up and be counted. Thank you. Shirlee J. Pergler Romeoville

We’re here to help each other. I remember the cancer pillows that were made for me and the make-up kits that helped me feel better about myself. I will never forget that, and I will support them 100 percent in hopes their journey to recovery will be shorter.” For all, it was the belief that cancer touches everyone and the drive to fight back is what brought them together.

One of the organizers Dawn Caldwell and Kris Newquist, walking with the Family of Relayors, prepare for the Luminaria ceremony.

www.relayforlife.org and search for “Romeoville.” The funds collected at the event will go to support cancer research to help find cures and to provide local programs aimed at helping people stay well, get well and fight back. The Relay for Life event began back in the mid 1980s, proving that one person can make a difference. In an effort to raise more money for cancer research, Dr.

Gordy Klatt, of Tacoma, Wash., started running a marathon. In 1985, he spent 24 hours circling a track for more than 83 miles. Throughout the night, friends paid $25 to run or walk 30 minutes with him. He raised $27,000 that night. Since those first steps, the Relay for Life movement has grown into a worldwide phenomenon, raising nearly $5 billion to fight cancer.

After a public hearing on the issue, the Valley View School District 365u school board adopted the 2013-14 budget, at a slight increase over last year. “We’ve increased the operating budget by $2.2 million, which is only a 1.3 percent increase so it shows that we really trying to hold the line,” said Assistant Superintendent Gary Grizaffi.“This is the lowest increase in recent memory.” But while the approximate $243 million overall budget is balanced, three of its six main operating funds are not.The Education fund, Operations and Maintenance Fund and the Transportation Funds will see a deficit of $9.5 million,with the district using its funds balance to make up the difference. Currently the district had $66.6 million in its fund balance, compared to $90.2 million in 2012, dwindling every year. In 2008, in pre-construction days, the district maintained a fund balance of $119.4 million. That $9.5 million deficit takes in an account an increase of $547,000 since the tentative budget was introduced in August, reflecting several changes in expenses including an additional $120,000 in salary for key leaders at the elementary level, as well as extendeddayteacherpay;reduction of $88,780 in WILCO tuition costs based on actual enrollment; and a reduced transportation claim. The lion’s share of the budget, 56.9 percent, goes to salary at

$138.4 million; and benefits at 14.1 percent or $34.2 million. Benefits will increase by 7 percent in claims cost and negotiated changes in the area of premiums. To recap sourcing for the school district, Grizaffi reported the district receives 76 percent of its revenue through local property tax at $177 million; $78 million coming from the State; and $14 million from federal dollars. The 2013 property tax levy will be limited to 1.7 percent of the 2012 extension, or an estimated $2.2 million of additional local property tax revenue of which half will be received in the 2013-14 school year.This is a decrease over last year when the district realized a $3.77 million increase. Grizaffi said state revenue continually being prorated is becoming an increasing problem for the district.The largest resource for the district, General State Aid, is dropping each year, representing a loss of $3.2 million. In addition, transportation reimbursement continues to be cut, with the district receiving $1.2 million less than it received in 2010-11 with a cumulative impact of $4.8 million in funds that the district has not been able to collect. In addition to a decrease in state funding, the district must pay back taxes to Adventist Bolingbrook Hospital which was recently designated as tax-exempt in the amount of $1.3 million for this school year and pay a refund of property taxes for a total approximated at $5.6 million in total lost revenue.

Facing depression and reaching out through H2O By Laura Katauskas Staff Reporter

Everyone knows depression exists and it touches each one of us. But not everyone is willing to talk about it and that’s the epidemic groups like To Write Love on Her Arms is set to shatter. To Write Love on Her Arms is a non-profit national movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide. TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. Heart Haven Outreach (H20) recently invited the group to speak at a community event last week at Bolingbrook High School where students, sometimes alone, others with friends or families came out

to hear inspirational words of hope from those who suffered themselves. In a sometimes raw admission of self doubt and angst, speakers Chad Moses and Denny Kolsch shared their stories hoping in turn to inspire others to reach out, speak out and ask for help. “We are here so that you don’t feel like you have to go through anything alone—many of you probably have a lot of heavy stuff to deal with,” said Moses. “These issues are so very real and we live with them inside of us.” Moses told the story of Renee who led a troubled life of abuse that led to addiction and selfinjury, carving into her own arm one drug-hazed night,“#uck up.” It was after a circle of friends rallied around her that she entered treatment and recovery and survived. It was her story that gave birth to TWLOHA.That

group of friends said they would never leave her and would support her. Looking to raise money with a sale of T-shirts, a friend who happened to be a band member of Switchfoot wore the shirt on stage. Soon calls were coming in from every town that band visited. Both from those hoping to help and those that desperately sought the help. To date the group has answered more than 170,000 messages in 100 countries and have raised $1 million in funds for treatment and recovery. “We started hearing things like “that sounds like my best friend, what can I do’ or it feels like I am walking around in my boots that are just too heavy and I can’t do it anymore,” said Moses. “All of a sudden Renee’s story was connecting. “There are probably stories like it in this room…It is real

and you shouldn’t feel alone. I am here to tell you hope is real and help is an option. Never stay alone in your struggles.” Beyond those issues is another core issue—fear, and one that prevents people from speaking out. “We are here to fight against voices in a society that whispers, ‘if you feel this, you are a freak,” said Kolsch. It was the stigma attached to admitting feelings of depression or addiction that most in the audience agreed is out there and a significant problem. Comments from the crowd became an eye opener to a problem that exists among the community. “You don’t want to be a burden to others.” “It’s pride. You don’t want people to know.” “Sometimes you are ashamed and you don’t want to show

Horoscopes Get going while the getting is good. By mid-week, your strong desire to make changes or pronouncements can create problems. Avoid becoming involved in controversial situations during the week ahead.

Clean out the clutter of the past and pack it up so you can prepare for the future. You might think a partner’s resistance to all things new and unusual cramps your style this week. Cooperation circumvents an impasse.

Unforeseen obstacles may riddle the path when you pursue your most important goals in the week ahead. New and innovative ideas may blossom, but can sidetrack you. Don’t jump from the frying pan into the fire.

Play possum. If you maintain a low profile, you can fool your enemies into leaving you alone. Partners might be unpredictable or caught up in a whirlwind of change in their business or job in the upcoming week.

Fires burn themselves out if they don’t receive enough fuel. Remain focused on the people who engage your enthusiasm, but don’t keeping feeding a dispute in the week ahead. Don’t be distracted by passing thrills.

Shakeups are transitory. Like an earthquake that only lasts a few seconds, some of the tensions of the week to come might briefly disturb your equanimity, but won’t cause damage unless they are your fault.

In the week ahead, you may need to navigate a balance beam built from political correctness. Your closest companions could surprise you by being either completely unyielding or adopting an unpopular opinion.

Never ever take a fence down until you know why it was placed there in the first place. There may be some people who refuse to abide by restraints or honor boundaries in the week ahead; don’t be one of them.

Your generosity and tolerance of other people’s foibles in the week ahead can result in increased understanding and harmony. An unexpected expense could put a dent in your budget, so don’t spend on a whim.

In the week to come, the person who preaches the loudest sermon might be a hypocrite. You may be inundated by a barrage of issues on the home or career front; don’t make a crucial decision until the dust settles.

Every day, every way, everything gets a bit better. Apply this mantra to relationships and make teamwork a key concern. If you’re tolerant toward others, by week’s end you should see a definite improvement.

Secrets are a gamble like a shell game. Turn aside from a hookup or a financial deal that must be kept hidden from view. Anything worth having is worth discussing openly with family and friends this week.

Spartans earn win over Plainfield South By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

It was a great all-around effort for Romeoville Friday night in a 34-7 win at Plainfield South. The Spartans (3-2 overall, 2-1 in Southwest Prairie Conference) forced four turnovers and didn’t commit any themselves to cruise to the win. “We’ve struggled with turnovers on offense,” Romeoville coach Jeff Kuna said. “This is the first game on offense that we didn’t turn the ball over. That’s a big part of football. Our defense has been able to create turnovers and they got (four) tonight, so we ended up plus (four), which is a big factor in the game.” “It’s great that we didn’t have any turnovers,” Romeoville quarterback Kelvin Jones said. “That killed us the last couple games. I felt like we were going to put up a lot of points and we did that.” The running game was strong as for the second time this year a pair of running backs eclipsed the 100-yard mark. Miguel Ford ran 21 times for 170 yards and a touchdown, while Gill Whitaker had 19 carries for 114 yards and See SPARTANS, page 14

THE BUGLE OCTOBER 3, 2013

SPARTANS Continued from page 13 a score. “We felt we could run the ball on them,” Kuna said. “We have a good run game to start with. We came out with our heavy package. Our offensive line got us going and our fullbacks, Tony Borges, Marcus Tyler and Caleb Purham did an incredible job.” “The line did a phenomenal job blocking,” Jones said. “Will Craig, my left tackle, Ramiro Valencia Damien Vasquez, my whole line did an awesome job.”

The passing game was also working as Jones threw for 95 yards and three touchdowns, two to Chuck Hunter. “I was pretty excited,” Hunter said. “The cornerback was a little slower, so when Kelvin gets good protection, he throws it up.” “I feel Chuck can beat just about any corner back in the conference,” Jones said. “He’s really good.” Not only was Jones productive throwing the ball, he was also spot-on calling the game at the line of scrimmage. Jones was allowed to change the play based on what he was seeing and he did so with success.

Sports “What a lot of people don’t realize is that Kelvin Jones audibled based on what we taught him this week,” Kuna stated. “He did an incredible job. I think two of those touchdowns were audibles he called based on what the defense gave him. So his maturity as a quarterback was a big piece too. He didn’t turn the ball over, he made great checks at the line of scrimmage and he kept his composure.” “They did a great job teaching me how to call audibles and how to pick up blitzes,” Jones said.“I felt good about it. If they were blitzing on the inside I would change it to a different running play or a passing play. It was all how they (the defense) set up.” A prime example of the success was the last touchdown of the game.After South (3-2, 2-1) scored in the third quarter to make the score 26-7, the Spartans were facing third-and-two. South was showing a blitz up the middle, so Jones audibled to a pitch outside. Ford took the pitch and raced 76 yards for a touchdown to put the

game away. “That was an audible by me, I changed it,” Jones said.“It does feel good on my part, the coaches part and the whole team’s part. I get one play in the huddle and then whatever I see I go with.” Not to be outdone for the Spartans was the defense, which shut down the Cougars throughout the game and was in the backfield constantly. “When you hold a team that was scoring 30 points a week to seven, that is a good job by the defense,” Kuna said. “Caleb Purham and Anthony Love, we’ve known since week one they are our leaders on defense. They set the tone for the rest of the defense. They cause a lot of problems for offensive lines.” Leading 19-0, Hunter made a key interception in the end zone right before halftime to keep the momentum with the Spartans going into the break. “I wasn’t expecting it, but once I got it I was really excited,”Hunter said. “Two touchdowns and an

interception, that’s a great night at the office,” Kuna said. Manuel Nartey opened the scoring with an 11-yard touchdown catch from Jones. Jones then found Hunter for a 13-yard touchdown with seconds remaining in the first quarter. A Justin Brandon interception in the second quarter set up an 8-yard touchdown run by Whitaker for a 19-0 halftime advantage. Evan Stingley recovered a fumble at the South nine-yard line and on fourth-and-goal, Jones found Hunter for a 7-yard strike for a 25-0 lead. Curshawn Pruitt added an interception in the fourth quarter. The Spartans return home Friday night to take on Plainfield North (2-3, 1-2). “They’re a very good football team,” Kuna said. “It’s going to be a good football game.” “We’re going to do the same thing we did to South,” Hunter added. “This is a big confidence boost.” Follow Scott @Taylor_Sports staylor@buglenewspapers.com

Plainfield North’s Austin Collier chose to play for the Tigers this year after playing club last season.

Club or school soccer? Athletes faced with a choice By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

In recent years there have been multiple sports where schools have lost high school athletes to club teams. However, that trend seems to be ever increasing in soccer, especially on the boys’ side with the growth of the Chicago Fire Academy. There are several teams in the Voyager Media Coverage area who have this issue currently. “In my hallways right now, I have three players that I know of now that are currently playing with the Fire,” Downers North coach Brian Gervase said.“We’re dealing with it. It is what it is. One of the players played for us last year as a junior; he’s a goalie and then he left, and as a senior he’s playing club.” “This year we lost three kids to club soccer,” said Plainfield East coach Walter Flores, who had three sophomores choose club.“We are hoping to get all of them back this year. This speaks

a lot about the growing passion for soccer in the area. As much as you don’t like to see it, as a coach you have to respect every parent/student decision. In our case, we have some young talent that opted to play high school and their decision is paying off as they have been able to get exposure and experience.” Romeoville, a program coming off a sectional final appearance, is in the same shape. “There are two kids that are in the hallways right now that are freshmen that are playing club,” Romeoville coach Nick Cirrincione said. “Their thought process is that is they aren’t playing varsity, they will stay with the club until they are mature enough to play high school. The problem with that is, you don’t get them their freshman or sophomore year.” Coaches understand why players would choose to play club over their high school team, but they don’t necessarily agree with it. “I respect every kids’ decision

to play club over high school soccer,” Flores said.“I also believe that the high school years are a memorable experience in your lifetime and they should be able to maximize the experience by playing a sport they excel in, building strong bonds with teammates and constructing relationships for life.” “It is hard not to go to the Academy if they are paying for you,” Cirrincione stated.“You are playing for free and traveling all over the Midwest. It is hard to argue with it. It has gotten worse over the last few years and I don’t know if it will change.” While club soccer has developed an extra edge competitively, there is still plenty of talent at the high school level and that talent is still being found by colleges. “It is unfortunate because tons of kids still get recruited by playing high school soccer,” Bolingbrook coach Jamie Clemmons said. “If you are a See CHOICE, page 17

Spartans focus on execution By Mark Gregory Sports Reporter

One word has defined not only the past week for the Romeoville volleyball team, but the season thus far – execution. When the Spartans can execute, they can play a point with the best of teams. When they, don’t, they see points slip away and turn into losses. “It’s that one little word,” Romeoville coach Melissa Zimmer said. “Execution. When we execute, we are fine.”

Although Romeoville dropped a pair of Southwest Prairie Conference games this week, falling to Oswego East 25-19, 2515, and to Minooka 25-12, 25-19, the scoreboard does not tell the story of the Spartans’ season. “We saw a lot of good on our part,” Zimmer said after the Oswego East match Sept. 24. “Defensively we had a lot more digs on our part, it just came down to putting the ball away. That didn’t happen very often.” Zimmer said part of the issue See FOCUS, page 17

Mark Gregory/Bugle Staff

Brooke Leach goes for a tip in Romeoville’s game against Oswego East.

Sports FOCUS Continued from page 16 right now as far as execution is finding a constant varsity rotation to put on the floor. “We are dealing with personnel issues right now and when we hammer that out and get some consistency on the varsity level, we are hoping the execution will come,” she said. Of those players that are constants in the lineup, several are underclassmen, making the future a bright spot for the Romeoville program. “Andrea Chaidez, our sophomore middle, is very consistent at controlling the net,” Zimmer said. “When she gets the set, she is able to do something with it. We had some problems getting her the ball (against Oswego East). The same with our other middle Kurin Czerwin, both our middles are playing well.”

CHOICE Continued from page 15 good high school player, you will get recruited, you don’t have to only play club. Now, it is going to be the teams that are always good programs with the good records and go deep in the playoffs that are going to get the scouts out.” “Everybody is looking for an edge,” Maine East coach Vic Dipriso said. “How can my kid get a scholarship? I think it’s unrealistic that some club programs do what they do and cut down high school programs. They put the kids in middle and they put down high school soccer. I think it’s unfair to all the high school coaches. I know how much time I put in during the season. You have to give mutual respect for each other not put down what the other is doing.” One of the issues with club ball is that some players aren’t ready to compete at that level and high school might be a better place to gain experience. “I can see the whole club thing from both sides,” Gervase said. “The hardest part is that some of the kids are getting caught in a trap of really being, I think, sold a bad bill of goods. The kid that’s not playing goalie for us this year, he’s a very good player, and I think he will play

Being only a sophomore and one of the taller Spartans, Chaidez said she has learned how to play her position and excel at the net against more experienced hitters. “I play my position and do my job and stay on the blocks and make sure I take care of my position,” she said.“I have learned all year my timing and how to control the net.” Not only is Chaidez learning how to play physically as a sophomore, she is learning the mental game as well. “I have learned to stay positive the whole game and never give up on the ball,” she said. “One of our big goals is to stay positive because that was a flaw in the past and we are working to change that. “That and to keep improving and we want to keep improving, those are the goals for the rest of the year.” In the loss to Oswego East, junior Nikki Crowley paced the team with nine assists, but also

equaled Chaidez with three kills to lead Romeoville (3-19 overall, 0-6 SPC) “Nicki Crowley, our junior setter is playing well too,” Zimmer said.“She is one of our consistent blockers as well. She is an allaround athlete as well.” In the Oak Lawn tournament,the Spartans went 1-2 to place eighth in the 16-team tournament. Romeoville beat Argo 2520,25-23 behind six kills from Gianna Dever and four aces each from Chaidez and Jessica Kurczaba. Romeoville lost to Portage 259, 25-17. Dever posted three kills in the match. Czerwin tallied three kills as the Spartans fell to Lincoln Way West 25-15, 25-23. •Romeoville Christian Academy traveled to Rockford on Friday and defeated Berean Baptist 25-20, 25-19.

Bolingbrook defeated Lincoln-

Former Spartan Cam Stingily tallied a team-high 80 yards on 15 carries as NIU defeated Purdue 55-24 Saturday. It is the first time in history a MidAmerican Conference team has defeated two Big 10 teams in the same season. A week earlier, Stingily posted a career-best 132 yards at two touchdowns on 21 carries in the Huskies’ 31-27 win over Eastern

at the next level; there’s no doubt about it, and I’m sure the club experience he’s getting is fantastic. But at the same time high school is a place where kids learn more than just about soccer.” While some schools have faced the loss of players to club teams, Maine East has been able to keep its top players, including Rami Dajani, a graduate last year who is now at the University of Alabama-Birmingham. “Fortunately we have not lost any players to club teams,” Dipriso said.“There were players who could have come out for the high school team (at Maine East) that never did, but not many. Maybe one or two through the years. Once we’ve had a player on the team, we’ve never really lost one. I emphasize the high school experience and playing for your team. what that could bring to you.The last eight years been pretty successful so I think that sells the program. We’ve won 16 tourneys since 2006; having a program like that sells itself. “Rami was pressured to join a club team and never did (during the season). I definitely think club ball helped him but high school had just as much influence on him as club ball did.” Plainfield North has been a team faced with losing players to clubs, but got one back this year in Austin Collier.

“All the seniors were saying how much it would help if I came this year,” Collier said. “This was their last year and they wanted to win something. I finally gave in. The Academy, I’m sure you get better, but this is 10 times more fun. I’ve had more fun this year. I’m competing. I’m playing with my friends. I’m so happy with my decision.” “The academies are tough to

beat,” Plainfield North coach Jim O’Hara said. “I mean can I offer them free stuff? No I can’t. But I think there is something about playing for your high school. There is a bond that you build. These are kids you go to school with and live around. From what (Austin) tells me, he is loving it.” Now Collier is recruiting his classmates who play club to join him next year.

Downers rivalry takes on added importance By Scott Taylor Sports Editor

Downers Grove North and Downers South are set to play at 7:30 p.m. Friday night at Downers South and the two teams couldn’t be coming into the game any more different. The Trojans (2-3) were a top10 pick in the state by some experts to start the season, but have dropped three straight games. The Mustangs (3-2) have won three straight games after missing out on the playoffs last year. While the two teams are coming in on opposite ends of the spectrum, the importance is high for both teams. A loss for Downers North and it would need to win out to be playoff eligible, which includes a season-ending game at Hinsdale Central and an away game at Proviso West, which beat the Mustangs. Downers South still has a tough game at Willowbrook and finishes the season with Hinsdale South. Both teams appear to be in decent shape to make the playoffs with 5-4 records. After struggling on defense last year, the Mustangs seem to be much stronger on that side of the ball this year. They gave up just 21 points to unbeaten Benet and the 24 they gave up to Leyden in their last game is the most all season. Offensively they scored just 12 points in the first two games, but have put up 92 in their past three.

Downers North has been tough defensively despite the recent losses, allowing 47 points all year, with all those points coming the last three weeks. With a pair of Toledo recruits on its defense, those stats aren’t surprising. However, the offense has stalled after scoring 73 points through two weeks. The Trojans have managed just 20 points the past three weeks as the passing game has yet to find its rhythm. Both teams have the potential to make field goals, with Downers North’s Gareth Jones kicking a pair of 42-yarders the past two weeks, including one to send the game into overtime against Oak Park-River Forest.

TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY

If you can’t get the pronunciation right, use your phone or a notepad to show the word to your waiter.

International communication goes beyond words

he language barrier used to be a big problem for American travelers. I remember leading tour groups through France and was constantly impressed at how Americans expected the French to speak English. People would go to the post office in some little town and be frustrated because there was no help in English and the people weren’t friendly. I had to explain to them that small-town French postal clerks are every bit as speedy, cheery, and multilingual as they are here in the USA. But, in the last generation, English has become the common language of travel. These days in Europe, anyone who’s young, well-educated, or working in tourism is very likely to speak English, and many signs and menus are in English as well. But even when you have to resort to pantomime skills, it’s satisfying - and fun - to bridge the language barrier. Despite more than 30 summers of travel through Europe, I’m still a monoglot and yet manage to connect with the local people

wherever I go. It’s polite to at least begin your encounters and transactions by trying to speak in the language of the country you’re visiting. Learn and use the words for hello, excuse me, please, thank you and goodbye. I start conversations by asking “Do you speak English?” in the local language. In France, it’s “Parlez-vous anglais?” In Germany,“Sprechen Zie Englisch?” For help, bring a small dictionary or a phrase book with a menu reader - either in print or on your smartphone - and a good supply of patience. If the person doesn’t speak English, I do my best in his language. Generally after I butcher a couple of sentences, he’ll say,“Actually I do speak a little English.” OK, your friend is speaking your language. Do him a favor by speaking slowly and clearly. Enunciate. No slang, no contractions. Keep things caveman-simple. Instead of asking,“Can I take your picture?” point to your camera and ask “Photo?”

Risk looking like a fool: To get air mail stamps, you can flap your arms like wings and say “tweet, tweet.” If you want milk, moo and pull two imaginary udders. Remember that self-consciousness is the deadliest communication killer. With gestures and thoughtfully simplified words, you’re communicating. Plan ways to connect with locals. Bring photos from home and introduce your family. Play cards or toss a Frisbee. Bring a small notepad and draw what you mean. Communication requires an awareness of culture as well as words. For example, the French value politeness. Begin every encounter with “Bonjour (or S’il vous plait), madame (or monsieur),” and end every encounter with “Au revoir, madame (or monsieur).”The key is to go for it with a mixture of bravado and humility.When you do make an effort to speak French, expect to be politely corrected - c’est normal.The French are language perfectionists - they take their language (and other

languages) seriously. Because of this, they may be timid about speaking English less than fluently, so they might actually know more English than they let on - and you’ll probably find they speak more English than you speak French. In contrast, Italians have an endearing habit of talking to you even if they know you don’t speak their language.They’re very animated when they speak. You may think two Italians are arguing, when in reality they’re agreeing enthusiastically. Don’t stop them to say you don’t understand every word - just go along for the ride. Every language is spoken in its own way. A German friend observed that the Spanish and Italians speak as if talking to God, the French speak as if talking to a lover, and the Germans speak as if talking to a dog.They seem to be barking, even when agreeing with you: Stimmt! Genau! Richtig! Personally, I like the sound of German, but as I told my friend, the language is difficult for me. My friend said,“German is easy!

Even children speak it.” If you don’t find languages easy, though, remember that wherever you travel, you’re surrounded by expert, nativespeaking tutors. Spend bus and train rides letting them teach you. Listen to each language and imitate. Be melodramatic. Exaggerate the local accent. Practice and have fun with it. It can be intimidating at first, but a bold spirit of adventure, a dollop of common sense, and a big smile will take you a long way. The most important thing is to never allow your lack of foreign language skills to isolate you from the people and cultures you traveled halfway around the world to experience. Long after your memories of museums have faded, you’ll still treasure the personal encounters you had with your new European friends.

How to defuse whining at the office Q. I work in an industry where it seems like everyone has a graduate degree in whining. I listen to so many complaints on a daily basis it makes me want to quit. What can I do to get people to stop whining and act like they are older than two? A. Buried in every complaint is a request that is just dying to get out but that is badly articulated. Ironically, most people hate to be needy but they are comfortable with complaining. People frequently equate whining with anger, and they often believe that asking others for anything makes them look vulnerable. The workplace is a hierarchy where most people assume looking powerful is critical.

While it is true that looking competent is important, always acting strong and perfect actually puts you at risk. Consider trees that survive in nature. A long-lived tree has deep roots but is utterly flexible under stormy conditions. People with long-lived, resilient careers know there are many times bending and asking for help is the most effective move. There are a few people in every workplace who will blow up at you if you so much as ask for a cup of coffee, but most people are actually flattered to be asked for help. When we are asked for help, we feel competent and important. When we are whined at,

we feel annoyed, blamed and uncooperative.The person doing the whining usually believes they are looking powerful by blaming us. However, when most of hear some version of,“But you never give me the good projects,” we contemplate revenge more than assistance. Next time someone starts whining, look them straight in the eye and say,“I know there is something specific you want from me, but I don’t know what it is. What would you like?” Most people will continue to whine, so you will have to continue to ask for what they want you to do or say multiple times. The truth is that most whiners don’t think through what they want before they start to whine. People who habitually whine are accustomed to whimpering

the minute they get uncomfortable. When you ask them to tell you what they actually want, it will be the first time they ever entertained that question. Your office whiners will stop once they know that you know what they want and offer it to them, refer them to someone who can, or tell them why you can’t and offer them the option to go above your head. When you are surrounded by coworkers who complain, you’ll find most of them aren’t skilled at negotiating for what they want. Obviously, with all the whining you’ve put up with, you may feel like you work at a daycare, not an adult job. However, if you become the person who turns complaints into requests, there will be no need for them to whine at you anymore.

Don’t set up payment arrangement on old debt Dear Dave, I have $400 in debt on a credit card, and I haven’t made a payment on it in about two years.The debt has been sold several times, and now the amount they’re asking for is over $1,000. I’d like to work something out, but how do I know the collection company that is calling me now is legitimate? Lorenzo

Dear Lorenzo, It’s normal for a debt this old to have been sold a few times. My guess is the company that’s calling you is legit, and they probably bought the debt for pennies on the dollar. Whatever you do, don’t set up a payment arrangement.They’re asking for over $1,000 because they’ve added stuff like

late charges and interest. Let’s go back to the original amount of $400 and see if they’ll accept a onetime, cash payment to settle things. Make sure you get it in writing if they accept and don’t give them a dime until after you get the written agreement.Then, once you have the agreement, send them $400. Do not, under any circumstances, give them electronic access to your checking account. You’ve waited a long time to take care of this, and in the process you’ve made things

more difficult. I’m glad you’ve decided to clean up your mess, though. Late is better than never, Lorenzo. Just remember, you’re still responsible for debts you incur—even if the company you originally borrowed from has sold it to someone else! —Dave Dave Ramsey is America’s trusted voice on money and business.

ROTH Continued from page 5 best thing a young reader can do is read another book, be it mine or not. Popular or not. If I can help more of the population get practice in reading, I am just thrilled. Q. How did you come to develop the main character, Beatrice Prior or Tris? A. I had been writing the book for some time, and I found I needed to put it away for awhile and gain some perspective because it didn’t feel right. I knew I wanted her to have a different voice. There was something compelling about her, about her finding her voice and having it be really clear, and it became a hard voice, and Tris was born. She just kind of appeared. Q. Are you worried about the movie being true to the book? A. I saw the movie rights, and I believe it to be what it should be and feel it will be authentic in spirit. But this is all larger than me. I understand there is no way for me to control what the movie will become or how people will look at it. It gives me a chance to peek into other

people’s brain and their thought process, and I have been very open-minded about it. It is just really remarkable that this is happening. People tell me things like, “Yes, we’ve cast Kate Winslet,” and so on, and I am saying, “Oh, that’s great,” and I’m thinking, “Wow, this is incredible.” Q. How do you keep young readers interested? A. It’s important. I think the best thing a young reader can do is read another book, be it mine or not. Popular or not. If I can help more of the population get practice in reading, I am just thrilled. Q. Do you tire of being compared to “Hunger Games?” A.Actually, it’s pretty flattering. I think the series gives an opportunity for new things to be read. Obviously I feel like I am the type of person who has the same creative nature, and I think it is a very positive comparison. Q. Which faction would you choose? A. I was raised Candor, but I probably would choose Abnegation. I would fail out miserably and become factionless.

Q. How long did it take to write the triology? A. About a year for each—the third took a little longer—I had a lot to think about. But that will definitely be the end of the series. I also have short stories out and am working on another based on Tobias. After that I am taking a little vacation, write for fun, and wait for movie to come out. Q. As a Chicago native, was it natural to have the city as your backdrop? A. After I looked back at what I wrote, I realized it sort of bled on the page without me realizing it. I knew the story would benefit from an urban environment. I found myself writing about elevated trains and the vast marsh and all the buildings. I realized it was already set in Chicago. It’s the only city I’ve ever really known, and I guess I will always have a deep affinity for it. Q. You’ve achieved success at a relatively young age; do you have advice for young authors? A. The best thing is to learn to fall in love with the writing. You can’t get caught up in agents and publishing. Enjoy it and don’t think about the business of it.

Postnasal drip not usually related to bad breath By Erin O’Brien, M.D. Tribune Content Agency

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I’ve had a case of chronic postnasal drip for many years and as a result have very bad breath. Are the two related and if so, how? What can be done to treat bad breath due to postnasal drip? ANSWER: Postnasal drip usually isn’t related to bad breath. Instead, bad breath most often results from the breakdown of food in your mouth, bacteria in the tissues of your mouth or tonsils, dental problems, dry mouth or, rarely, an underlying disease. It is possible that your bad breath could be a result of a sinus problem, such as an infection. But in that case, you’d likely be experiencing symptoms in addition to postnasal drip. To determine what’s causing your bad breath and what can be done, your situation needs more evaluation. Nasal tissues make mucus all the time to help moisten and clean the nasal passages. Each day,

your nose and sinuses produce about two cups of mucus. Most is swallowed throughout the day. The amount of mucus can be increased by a cold, influenza, allergies or irritants in the air, such as tobacco smoke. The mucus can also be thickened due to dehydration or infection. Many people with chronic postnasal drip also report symptoms of frequent throat clearing, coughing or hoarseness and change in their voice. These are all symptoms of gastric reflux, even without obvious heartburn symptoms. Reflux causes throat irritation, leading to a sensation of increased mucus in the throat. Postnasal drip can certainly be bothersome but typically doesn’t result in bad breath because the mucus is odorless. That said, an acute sinus infection could cause bad breath, but this wouldn’t last for years. Also, for postnasal drip to be the only symptom of a sinus infection is very uncommon. Typically, these infections are also accompanied

by nasal congestion, facial pain and pressure, cough and a reduced sense of smell. Another possible cause of bad breath related to sinus issues could be a chronically stuffy nose that causes a person to consistently breathe through the mouth. Mouth breathing dries out saliva, and that leads to bad breath because saliva naturally cleanses the mouth, reducing particles that may cause odor. But from your description, it doesn’t sound like your postnasal drip is associated with a chronically stuffy nose, so this explanation doesn’t seem to fit your situation. Much more likely is that your bad breath is coming from something going on in your mouth.Dental issues such as poor oral hygiene, gum disease and dentures that don’t fit properly can be sources of bad breath. The use of tobacco products can be part of the problem, as well. Smoking dries out the mouth and often leads to bad breath. Tonsil stones or tonsilloliths

can also cause bad breath when sulfur-producing bacteria get trapped in debris within the tonsils. These small white or yellow stones may be seen or felt within crypts or recesses in the tonsils.The tonsil stones can be dislodged by gargling with warm salt water, but for severe

cases, tonsillectomy may be necessary. Although uncommon, bad breath may sometimes be linked to an underlying medical condition. For example, diabetes, gastro-esophageal reflux disease, and some metabolic disorders can lead to bad breath.
